Expo-cli is installed but “-bash: expo: command not found”

Question

I'm new to expo-cli and keep running into this on the terminal

expo init myproject
-bash: expo: command not found

First, I tried uninstall and installing via

sudo npm uninstall -g expo-cli && sudo npm i -g expo-cli
+ expo-cli@2.6.14

Second, I checked nodejs to see what version it was running on:

node -v
v10.15.0
npm -v
6.4.1

Third, I tried to see if it was an environment issue and adding a path via:

sudo vim ~/.bash_profile

inserting the following to the end:

# NPM global installs
export PATH=$PATH:~/.npm-global/bin

Did not solve the issue.

Answer 1

First off, I am not going to take credit, This issue is was solved a long time ago and it is quite easy to solve, although not permanently yet.

So it is said that it is an issue with the environment, where as the device you're using need to know where the programmes are.

-Check if /users/me/.npm-global/bin by running: echo $PATH -It is isn't run export PATH=$PATH:~/.npm-global/bin -After that you should be good to get back to the shell

source ~/.bash_profilez

Like I said am not taking credit for this. Here is where i found our life saver;

Answer 2

at firs do this:

npm install expo-cli

then it installed run this command:

npm install expo-cli --global

it worked for me , and i hope it works for you too ;)
